Destined

Chapter 5

Capricia's P.O.V

It's been about a year since I visited San Francisco. I spent the rest of my summer with my Dad, Leo, Cooper (dad's security head) and re-connecting with some high school friends. I miss Dee so bad, I mean last time we met was the last day so graduation since then no phone call, no message just disappeared in thin air. If we meet again I am not going to let go this time. Dee was my best friend in high school and I know people say you loose touch with high school friends but never had I thought I would loose touch with Dee. 

After summer I came back to college and I was not even surprised to see that our new substitute teacher for the last semester of business studies was Mr. Rafael Marcelo. He taught well I will give him that but he never made a move on me except for the time he saved me. I was so angry that we lost the polo match and I didn't even see the car coming my way. Thank God for the mafia bodyguard or I would be in the hospital. I know why he was here because I was so sure that 'BOSS' or pretty boy send him to keep an eye on me so I wouldn't spill his secret to police or someone else.

Today was my moment in the starlight because today was graduation. The May air was hot and crisp but thank gods for the auditorium having air conditioner. I had applied to many companies for internship seeing I didn't want to work at Rayne Tech. because it was my dad's company and people would just say "I got the job because I am the boss' daughter." But well that did happen because my dad wouldn't take 'No' for an answer. But at least I told him I would only work for him until I get a reply. I sent application to companies in France, Germany, Russia, Italy, South America and Spain. Yep really far away I know but It's my way to explore the world I guess.

My mother's mother and father were here on my graduation day and I couldn't be more happy. They had flown all the way from Chicago to see me step on the podium and collect my diploma.

The graduation went well and CEO of some big time company who was also an investor gave the commencement speech. My Dad couldn't make it, he had a valid reason. He was in Brazil. Working as such. I never understood why my dad never got married I mean till I was five I was raised by Leo and my grandpa God Rest his Soul. He graduated from college and started working just like I am going to. This company is soon going to be a family business I swear.

After graduation we didn't wait for the after party and all. All three of us had dinner and guess who I asked to join me for lunch because I had to thank him.

Yep I asked Rafa to be my date.

Best thing he doesn't know they are my grandparents, he might be left under the impression they are parents because my grandparents are only 60 and they are tennis players. Both of them. They were extremely fit and healthy and they looked young.

This was going to be just awesome. My grandfather is a very curious and suspicious man. I think I get my traits from him. It's not like Rafa is bad looking or something but I know Andrea has an eye for this man candy. She always calls him that. My grandparents, the Martins are not Italian but are French. We had a reservation at a fusion Indian restaurant for dinner. No sooner we settled on a table my grandfather started with his questions.

"So young man what's your name?" asked John.

"Rafael Marcelo, sir"

"Respectful. So what is that you do?" My God what was he going to say to that. I work in the Italian Mafioso, we deal drugs, kill people who owe us money, run underground clubs and traffic women.

"I was a substitute teacher for the Business studies class but now I will go work with my brother in Italy, Florence to be precise, Sir" He is going to back to Italy. Thank God because this was getting way creepier than having a stalker.
